Product Description
Massive Attack is a throw/blanket that is made using chunky weight yarn and five colours. A textured blanket with garter stitch short rows that approach the left and right flank, giving it an interesting arrangement, as well as fun colour-changing possibilities.
Colour ManagementColour 1 (C1) is the link colour that works between all the other colours. Colour 2 (C2), Colour 3 (C3), Colour 4 (C4) and Colour 5 (C5) will feature the flanked stripes and middle wedge throughout the blanket.
Yarn Quantity****4 skeins of C1.2 skeins each of C2, C3, C4 and C5.Grand Total: 12 skeins.
Size & ResizingFinished size (before blocking): 36” (92cm) wide by 49” (125cm) high.
To make the blanket wider, simply add an even number of stitches at cast on. To make the blanket longer, keep going until you reach your desired length. In both cases this will require more yarn, therefore keep an extra skein of each colour handy.
Massive Attack Throw Blanket by JimiKnits
What is Being Made
Massive Attack is a textured throw blanket designed by JimiKnits, crafted using chunky weight yarn in a beginner-friendly knitting pattern. This downloadable PDF pattern creates a substantial blanket worked flat from bottom to top, offering an accessible project for knitters new to more complex construction techniques.
Yarn and Materials
The pattern calls for chunky weight yarn in five distinct colorways. The designer provides sample color options including Burlap (cream), Grape Flavored (purple), Dirty Blond (yellow), Maelstrom (blue/green), and Salty Dog (pink). Color 1 (C1) functions as a link color that bridges between all other colors throughout the design. The blanket is worked on a circular needle, which accommodates the width of the project while working flat.
Construction Method
This throw blanket employs a flat construction technique, beginning at the bottom and progressing upward. The pattern utilizes a circular needle despite working flat, allowing the knitter to manage the increasing width of the blanket comfortably. The strategic placement of short rows creates the distinctive visual and textural elements that define this design.
Stitch Techniques and Texture
Massive Attack features garter stitch as its primary stitch pattern, which creates a classic, reversible texture. The blanket incorporates short rows worked along the left and right flanks, producing an interesting geometric arrangement. An additional series of short rows positioned at the center creates a middle wedge that provides balance to the overall composition. This combination of techniques generates both visual interest and dimensional texture while remaining accessible to beginner-level knitters.
